College football betting enthusiasts have gone from gambling on the ridiculous regular season to the intense bowl season, after the schedule was released last Sunday. To say every BCS Bowl Game, especially the National Title game was met with criticism, would be the polite way of putting things. Depending what side of the NFL argument you are on, you are either thrilled or distraught at the rematch between LSU and Alabama set for January 9, 2012. Here is a preview of the game.

Depending which one of our colleagues you read, the winner of Alabama v LSU should be considered the best school in the nation. In our humble bookie software agent opinions, we disagree with this viewpoint. To us, the National Champion should be determined based on not only a good record, but also by teams in elite conferences winning their conference’s championship game. In any other season, LSU v Alabama would have never happened for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the two teams already played each other, due to a scheduling issue and LSU proved they were the better team. Secondly, both teams are in the same conference, and it is rare that two teams from the same conference meet in a normal bowl game let alone the National Title game. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, because of their loss to LSU, Alabama wasn’t able to qualify for their conference championship game, so why should they receive a National Title berth?

Throwing all three of those previous points out the window, and fans from around the nation will argue, that the two best teams are basically playing each other. With this in mind, we truly feel that the rematch will go the same way as the first contest, ending in an LSU victory. LSU has proven the entire season, that they are far and away the class of the NCAA.
